J.K. Simmons teases the return of J. Jonah Jameson in SpiderMan 4
✖ J.K. Simmons teased the return of J. Jonah Jameson for Spider-Man 4. Deadline spoke to the actor about his part in Being the Ricardos. During that conversation, he said you could expect to see some more of the loud newspaperman in upcoming projects. Simmons quickly said,"I think I'm going to be in more. So, fingers crossed." Now, that might come as a given for longtime Spider-fans.
"Total shock," Simmons told Variety, affecting a British accent and suppressing a smile."Truly, initially, because I figured we did the Sam Raimi trilogy, it was brilliant, it was great, it was wonderful, and then they moved on. I thought, that was great, and bye-bye. And here I'm back. And Sam is back in the Marvel Universe as well with Doctor Strange [in the Multiverse of Madness]. It's beautiful.
It's been a long road here for the Spider-Man series veteran. But, it hasn't always been roses. He had some doubt that he would get the part at all. In a conversation with The Ringer's Kyle Brandt, he explained the unlikely way in which he became aware of his big break. "Getting the call itself was an interesting thing. I was at a voiceover audition at Grey Advertising, and—you know—doing that thing that journeyman actors do a lot," Simmons told The Ringer."You're doing your gig here, you're doing your gig there, you're auditioning for this or that. You sit in the waiting room, you wait your turn, you chat with the other guys, then someone comes to check our name off the list, 'JK, come on back to the recording booth.
"I'm walking and following this person through the cubicles and this desk chair comes flying out in front of me backwards with some kid who was probably 28, and he goes, 'Oh my God! JK, congratulations!' And I go, 'Thank you! For what?' And he goes, 'Are you kidding me? Spider-Man! I can't believe it. J. Jonah Jameson! That's so cool,' and I was like, 'I did not know that,'" the actor continued.
